Manufactured circa 1890 per the information on page 103 of Nigel Brown's "British Gunmakers Volume One: London". Built with browned Damascus barrels with dual white bead sights on the matted solid rib which is marked "CHARLES BOSWELL. MAKER 126 STRAND LONDON W.C.", light scroll engraving at the breech, 2007 dated Birmingham nitro reproofs, choke constrictions of inches, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with a single extractor. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened rebounding hammer sidelock action which features scroll engraving, "CHAs. BOSWELL" on either lockplate, and a set of double triggers. The gun is fitted with a nicely figured and checkered forend with engraved fittings and a round knob pistol grip stock with carved drop points, and a leather covered recoil pad. Includes a wood and leather takedown case, nickel oiler, nickel snap caps, and cleaning tools. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 inch drop at heel; 14 15/16 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 6 oz.

Very fine as refurbished, retaining nearly all of the brown finish, smooth grey patina on the action, 98% reapplied blue on the toplever, hammers, and triggerguard, light handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the replacement wood. The case is excellent. Some loose solder under rib, otherwise mechanically excellent.
